Abstract

Due to consumer and market demands, companies are looking for tools to improve the quality and safety of their products. The food safety management system is an important tool for the food industry, as it enables the production of safe food and allows compliance with national and international standards. Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 is a Food Safety Management System certification scheme that can be implemented by organizations in the food production chain. The scheme is composed of ISO 22000, ISO/TS 22002 industry and Additional requirements. With this work, the aim was to approach the components of the FSSC 22000 certification scheme and the benefits that it can offer to the food industries and to present the motivations, advantages and difficulties of a certified company through a case study. A literature review was carried out on the implementation of the FSSC 22000 certification scheme in the food industry and a technical visit to a cashew nut processing company. The implementation of the FSSC 22000 certification scheme allows organizations to export their products, as it is an internationally recognized standard. In addition, it provides several benefits to certified organizations, such as making the product more reliable and offering conditions for process improvement.
